This role requires deep technical expertise in Microsoft SQL Server—particularly SSIS, SSRS, and complex stored procedures—combined with strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with business users.

The individual will initially focus on learning and supporting legacy systems, understanding how data underpins key business processes, and then applying that knowledge to enterprise reporting platforms and a new SaaS solution. Success in this role requires curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to translate business needs into scalable, well-designed data solutions.

  • Quickly learn and document business processes embedded within legacy systems

Legacy Systems & Modernization

  • Document data structures, transformations, and business logic within legacy environments
  • Lead or support the migration of legacy reporting and data processes to enterprise reporting platforms and a modern SaaS application
  • Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and modernize data and reporting architectures

Enterprise Reporting & SaaS Enablement

  • Partner with application, integration, and business teams to enable reporting from SaaS platforms
  • Support data extraction, transformation, and validation as part of SaaS adoption
  • Ensure continuity of critical reports and metrics during system transitions
  • Promote best practices for enterprise data governance, documentation, and reporting standards

Collaboration & Quality

  • Collaborate closely with application developers, integration teams, and IT leadership
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment activities
  • Maintain clear documentation for data models, ETL processes, and reporting logic
  • Support troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and performance tuning efforts

Required Qualifications

  • Strong, hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server
  • Advanced expertise in SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services)
  • Advanced expertise in SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services)
  • Strong experience developing complex stored procedures and T-SQL
  • Proven ability to analyze and support legacy systems
  • Experience migrating or modernizing data and reporting solutions
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly with business users and stakeholders
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting enterprise reporting or BI platforms
  • Exposure to SaaS systems and cloud-based data architectures
  • Experience with PostgreSQL (Postgres), particularly in SaaS or cloud-hosted environments
  • Experience with data modeling and performance optimization
  • Familiarity with Agile or hybrid delivery environments
  • Background in environments undergoing system modernization or digital transformation

Key Success Factors

  • Ability to quickly understand how the business operates and how data supports those operations
  • Comfort working in environments with incomplete or undocumented legacy systems
  • Strong ownership mindset—from discovery through migration and modernization
